Subramania Bharati 1882-1921
Alternate name(s): Bharatiyar
Date of birth: December 11, 1882 (1882-12-11)
Place of birth: Ettayapuram, Madras Presidency, [India]
Date of death: September 11, 1921
Place of death: Madras, [India]]
Movement: Indian independence movement
Subramania Bharati (Tamil: சுப்பிரமணிய பாரதி) (December 11, 1882 - September 11, 1921) was a Tamil poet from Tamil Nadu, India, independence fighter, and reformer. Known as Mahakavi Bharati (the laudatory epithet Maha Kavi meaning Great Poet in Tamil), he is celebrated as one of India's greatest poets. Bharati was prolific and adept in both the prose and poetry forms, and his rousing compositions helped rally the masses to support the Indian independence movement in South India. Bharati lived during an eventful period of Indian history; his contemporaries included other prominent leaders of the Indian independence movement such as Mahatma Gandhi, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Sri Aurobindo, and V.V.S.Aiyar.
Early life
The house in Ettayapuram where Bharati was born Bharati was born to Chinnasami Subramania Iyer and Lakshmi Ammaal on December 11, 1882, in the Tamil village of Ettayapuram. Bharati was educated at a local high school called "The M.D.T.Hindu College." He learned music from a very young age and at 11 was invited to a conference of Ettayapuram court poets and musicians for composing poems and songs. It was here that he was conferred the title of "Bharathi" (Goddess of learning). Bharati lost his mother at the age of 5 and his father at the age of 16. He married his cousin Chellamal in 1897, at the age of fourteen. After an early marriage, Bharati, curious to see the outside world, left for Benares in 1898. The next four years of his life served as a passage of discovery when Bharathi discovered a country in tumult outside his small hamlet. Bharati worked as a school teacher in Madurai Sethupathy High School (Now a Higher Secondary School) and as a journal editor at various times in his life.
Nationalist During his stay in Benares, also known as Kashi and Varanasi, Bharati was exposed to Hindu spirituality and nationalism. Bharati's enquiring mind began to see beyond the social taboo superstition that held sway amidst the orthodox South Indians. In December 1905, he attended the All India Congress Session held in Benaras. On his way back, he met Sister Nivedita, Vivekananda's spiritual daughter, and came under her spell. From her arose another of Bharati's iconoclasm, his stand to recognize the privileges of women. The emancipation of women exercised Bharati's mind greatly. He visualized the 'new woman' as an emanation of Shakti, a willing helpmate of man to build a new earth through cooperative endeavor. [1]
During this period, Bharati Understood the need to be well-informed of the world outside and took avid interest in the world of journalism and the print media of the West. Bharati joined as Assistant Editor of the Swadeshamitran, a Tamil daily in 1904. By April 1907, he had started and along with M.P.T. Acharya, edited the Tamil weekly India and the English newspaper Bala Bharatham.
These papers not only served the purpose of enlightening the masses on the affairs of the nation and the world outside but also were a means of expressing Bharathi's creativity, which began to peak during this period. Bharathi started to publish his poems regularly in these editions. From complex religious hymns to rousing nationalist anthems, from contemplations on the relationship between God and Man to songs on the Russian and French revolutions, Bharati's subjects were truly diverse.
He was simultaneously up against personal and social poverty, society for its mistreatment of the downtrodden people, and the British for occupying India. Though he lived a life of abject poverty, he was always positive.
Militancy Bharathi participated in the historic Surat Congress in 1907, which deepened the divisions within the Indian National Congress between the militant wing led by Tilak and Aurobindo and the 'moderates.' Subramania Bharati supported Tilak and Aurobindo together with V. O. Chidambaram Pillai and Kanchi Varathaachariyar. Tilak openly supported armed resistance against the British.
Bharati immersed himself in writing and in political activity. In Madras, in 1908, he organized a public meeting to celebrate Swaraj (independence) Day'. His nationalistic poems Vanthe Matharam, Enthayum Thayum, Jaya Bharath were printed and distributed free to the audience. He is rightly referred to as the National Poet of India.
Exile in Pondicherry In 1908, he gave evidence in the case which had been instituted by the British against V.O. Chidambaram Pillai. In the same year, the proprietor of the 'India' was arrested in Madras. Faced with the prospect of arrest, Bharati escaped to Pondicherry, which was under French rule.
From there, Bharati edited and published the weekly journal India, Vijaya, a Tamil daily, Bala Bharatha, an English monthly, and Suryothayam a local weekly of Pondicherry. The British tried to suppress Bharathi's output by stopping remittances and letters to the papers. Both India and Vijaya were banned in British India in 1909.
During his exile, Bharati had the opportunity to mix with many other leaders of the militant wing of the Independence movement such as Aurobindo, Lajpat Rai, and V.V.S. Aiyar, who had also sought asylum under the French. Bharathi met with Aurobindo in Pondicherry, and the discussions often turned to religion and philosophy. He assisted Aurobindo in the Arya journal and later Karma Yogi in Pondicherry. Bharathy met with Mahatma Gandhi in 1919 in Rajaji's home.
Bharathi entered British India near Cuddalore in November 1918 and was promptly arrested. He was imprisoned in the Central prison in Cuddalore in custody for three
